Course Objective

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the generation, transmission and measurement of electrical phenomena that take place in the human body and enable them to learn how to design instrumentation systems to acquire bioelectric signals from the human body and ho wto stimulate the nervous system. In addition several biosignal processing methods will be taught.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
